What's the difference between a aesthetic and reconstructive dentist and a cosmetic dentist...?

Question

i am thinking about getting porcelain veneers and i am confused as to which dentist to choose. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

If you are getting veneers go to a cosmetic dentist. They can all place veneers however a cosmetic dentist will be a professional in that field.

Answer 2

Reconstructive dentist usually works with complex cases,  such as repairing the jaws and such after an automobile accident,  or in the case that someone is deformed,  etc.,    so a cosmetic dentist is one who specializes in making smiles look great (most movie stars go to a cosmetic dentist to get their "perfect"  teeth).    

For veneers,  this would be the dentist to see,  be careful though,  insurance doesn't usually cover dental procedures done just to look nice !
